Catch a unique glimpse of life at home and at work at a scythe and steelworks dating back to the 18th century. Abbeydale Works was once a producer of agricultural tools and the largest water-powered industrial site on the River Sheaf. It is now a group of Grade I and II* listed buildings and a Scheduled Ancient Monument. See the Manager's House and Worker's Cottage, waterwheels, workshops, tilt hammers, a grinding hull and the last complete surviving crucible steel furnace in the UK! See working waterwheels every Wednesday and our Davy Brothers steam engine in steam every Thursday.

I remember going here with school for a field trip back in 1999. This was a great place. I would love to visit this place again and I bet its improved even more and even better since 1999.

As a resident of Sheffield the Manor Top was the last place i expected to find such a historic place of beauty. There is an educational experience for the kids, but also beauty in the history and how well the area was maintained. There is a lovely cafe insight, plus a few farm animals and they were also working on a 1940's experience when we visited which looked very interesting as a few houses were being renovated to offer a war time experience. Definitely worth a visit, onsite parking is available and you can spend a good few hours here, we'll be returning once again in the summer.

If you're in Sheffield swing by and have a drink in the oldest pub in the city. Great pub, friendly staff and a pleasant atmosphere.
6. King Ecgbert Memorial
7. Upper Chapel & Channing Hall
Welcome to Upper Chapel, a Unitarian meeting place in heart of Sheffield. Our Grade II listed building is situated on Norfolk Street in the city centre. A Trust Deed, dated 1704, established Upper Chapel as simply "a Public Meeting House for the worship and service of Almighty God". So it remains.
